Euro Flight Service Italia is increasing its fleet capability in the Cote d'Azur region and in Sardinia. EFS sales manager Serena Ronchi plans to expand services from its base in Olbia, Sardinia, as business develops through some of the region's biggest brokers. "

EFS enjoyed great results in 2007 after basing just one Citation 500 in Costa Smeralda during the summer," says Capt. Davide Golnelli, gm Italy, EFS Italia. "We worked during the winter to reinforce the cooperation with the biggest yacht broker operating in the north of the island, and the plan for 2008 is to operate from Olbia with a Citation VII and a Citation SII."

A C650 was ferried to the EFS maintenance facility in Moenchengladbach. "This aircraft will be based in Italy to serve the increasing requests that we have from the Mediterranean area," says Golnelli.
